Surely we have come to a pretty pass, if our countrymen and the subjects of our Sovereign, are to be inveigled by false pre tences, taken far away from the protection of their own laws, and then murdered in reality, because it is all a sham about martial law when they were only mock soldiers, having been dopes and victims from the outset. The noble marquis made some earnest observations in conclusion as to the necessity of doing something to controvert these mat cearrcs. He very truly said that he did not want war, but if he was asked did he propose to go to war if remon strances failed, he would reply, What were we ever to go to war for if not for maintaining the honour and dignity of the coun try. This sentence should be stereotyped in the minds of our vacillat ing Government and timid politicians. " Way did we pay thirty millions a year for our army and navy if these forces were not to be employed in maintaining the honour of the country, and efford ing protection to our fellow-countrymen." This is the only right way of putting the question, and until we have Ministers who will consider national honour and the rights of Cur subjects to be the primary object of their efforts and the legitimate goal o of their ye dby these casualties. Every State i n t arn n will use our advantages, and take care to abase in pretty strong terms if we do not concede to them every iota of their requests. It is strange that a more general expression of indignation is not manifested by the Rouse concerning the con duct of the Government. The session is wearing away, and speeches, however brilliant, will not remedy matters if once the recess arrives without anything decided or definite being done. It is the same in America, the same in Prussia. We are at a discount, and the old notion that an Englishman need only proclaim his birth-piece to be treated with respect, is now quite oat of date. The men now in office cannot ranch longer carry on the affairs of the country; but they will leave a legacy behind them that for many years may not be altogether got rid of. When once the prestige of a country is injured, it is long before it can be restored; it is more difficult to rehabilitate a reputation than to make one sometimes, CYAL ITALIAN OPERA, Covent-gsrden. There will in next week be five opera nights, viz.. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and 6aturday. • • • - Various in iications are perceptible in the politica, horizon which reveal to the initiated the desire ol Government to shorten the Parliamentary session Other symptoms, too, are very apparent, showing the frail and feeble tenure by which they cling to the benches on the right band of the Speaker. In the course of this very week they have suffered two defeats, and have themselves withdrawn two mea sures—all of them tokens of grave import. In the case of the Writs Registration Bill, withdrawn by the Lord Advocate on Thursday evening, the oppo sition was so strong and so unanimous that it is not surprising that its promoter should think discretion the better part of valour. The object of the bill was professedly to facilitate the transfer of land in Scotland, and especially to do away with the ex- Pause attending the double system of search. But its objectors, while readily admitting these ends to be highly desirable, were of opinion that the means proposed to be adopted were wholly inefficient, and in themselves undesirable. The House of Commons represents very accurately the general feeling of Engijahmen, when it steadily opposes all tendencies Long exper i ence, i n a d d i towards centralisation. tion to the national common. sense and independence wisedissemination of spirit, has taught them the security afforded to public liberty by a of authority and the existence of powers that che c k and balance one another. Consequent l y , our rounie pa l system is warmly cherished by the people, an d all local rights and privileges jealously preserved. Paris may be Prance, but London is not Engl an d . The centralising tendency of the Lord Advocate's mea sure was, therefore, one of the strongest objections to it, but hon. members were not s l o w in bringi ng forward other reasons. It was contended in favour of the bill that it would effect a great saving, but considerable doubt was expressed as to its ultimate economy. Instead of the various registrars now scattered throughout the country, it is proposed to have all the work of registration done at one general office in Edinburgh. The Lord Advocate argued that it must be cheaper to employ one central staff than twenty local registrars; but, on a close exa mination, this bogie is not conclusive. Sir J. FER- GussoN, in opposing the second reading, asserted that in his opinion the establishment of a central general office would add largely to the expense, since a great number of clerks would have to be employed possessing that local knowledge which would be indispensable to the transactions of the business of the office. The commissioners who !sometime since examined into the matter, and upon whose report the present pressure is mainly founded, stated that they feared it would be impossible to in the House of Commons—what possibly can Mr. carry out thischarge which they themselves desired, WILLIAMS have been at now, so as to call down unless it were done very gradually, and the reason upon himself words of reprehension that certainly they gave for this apprehension was the enormous sound like an exaggeration ?

Sir J. FERGUSSON also opposed it on the than an indignity, not alone to the QUEEN and to the ground of the delay and inconvenience it would Prime Minister, but also, in a direct manner, to the occasion.

Her MAJESTY suggests that Parliament should give Sir ROWLAND, as author of the penny postage system, not £lOO,OOO, but merely £20,000, after a life of severe labour, and when ha is already in the seventieth year of his age—and, immediately upon this gracious suggestion from the Crown has been made, Mr. WILLIAMS, the member for Lambeth, interposes between the Nation and the great National Benefactor with his most indecorous, his most discreditable, his little less than disgraceful objection. It was an objection only heard with pain and impatience, immediately to be set aside by the House of Commons as one altogether of its kind simply beneath con tempt. But, the discomfort of it is this—that it should ever have been raised—even for an instant— even by a captious economist, such as this member for the borough of Lambeth. If it were possible we should like to have the record of this flagrant gaucherie on the part of Mr. WILLIAMS erased from the entries upon Hansard. We should be re joiced, if we could, to obliterate the incident from recollection. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE is resolved to keep up the question of the enlistment of Irish emi grants. In this respect he has acted wisely, and due credit should be awarded to him for his zeal and perseverance in the furtherance of this desired objecr. He has the satisfaction of having partially succeeded at last in his attempt, for Earl RUSSELL so far conceded as to promise to produce the papers required by the noble marquis. It is very gratify. ing that such should be the case, for whatever turn events may take nothing can be more provoking than the mystery which has prevailed on the subject of America since the commencement of the present session. Day after day and week after week have cpestions been put to the various members of the Government, bat little or nothing has been gained thereby. By common consent all official personages agreed to let the matter go by default, as it were, and vague allusions and very indefinite remarks were all the utterances that the sage and sapient mem bers of our present Cabinet allowed themselves to deliver, oc the Legislature to receive. Whether warned by all he has seen and heard, or getting in different at last to such quasi friends as his trans atlantic allies have proved themselves to be, Earl RUSSELL has taken rather a new tone in the affair, and spoken more in the manner which is suitable to one in his high position than he has done hitherto during the course of the long war in America. So far this is as it should be, but at the same time it must be borne in mind that there is a great differ• enca between voluntary service and enforced aid. It is quite another thing for a Minister to come to the HOMO and impart information over important topics, and for him to pooh pooh all attempts at its elucidation, and decry the endeavours of those who seek eagerly and anxiously for further tidings of its style and character. When Lord CLANRICARDE before spoke on this subject it suited the Foreign Secretary to meet the demand in a very unpropi tiatory manner. He fired up on behalf of his favour ites, and tried that most wretched of arguments the to quoque princip!e of defence. The Confederates had done so much damage, and had broken through all conventional rules arid infringed the laws of nations by their conduct in regard to the building of ships, and so on. This did not answer the pur pose in view, for no one beyond his own immediate circle was at all impressed with the indignant re marks or convinced by the plausible but, partial statement. It is worth while to study the speech of Lord CLANAICARDE attentively, and dwell on its most striking particulars. Thus only can we ar rive at a fair estimate of the affair, and judge of the length to which the Federals have gone in defiance of prescribed limits and in the face of known regu lations. He put the case very forcibly by pointing out the marked difference that existed in the con duct of the Government towards the Northern and Southern States. They had given every facility to one of the belligerents, and put every obstacle in the way of the other side. In like manner the en listment for foreign countries had never yet been carried on to such an extent as at present. In England also this practice, too, was prevailing, and he had heard from many quarters relative to it . The manner in which these men were engaged was very ingenious, but, on reflection, most far-sighted people can see through the dodge, as it may be termed. It is given out that the immense loss of men in America has occasioned a deficit in the number of workmen, and that these immigrants were to supply their place. The noble martinis gave some details of the extraordinary manner in which some of the unfortunate fellows had been treated Who were deluded into coming over on the specious pleas pre sented to them in the insidious arguments employ e d b y other agents of the Federal Govern ment. When they had landed strong drink was given to them, and they were advised to join the ranks of the Federal army. Some were turned ou . , who refused, and forced to live upon the charity of their fellow countrymen, others shared a worse fate.

The camp equi page, consisting of 90 tents, three large marquees, 1,126 blankets, 80 leather buckets, &e., was supplied from the Government stores at Harwich. The task of pitching the tents was performed by thirty or forty members of the Bury and other corps, under the direction of Adjutant Barnardiston. The tents were arranged in two wings, w i t h a b roa d way up the centre ; the prlvetes'tents being in front, and those of the officers behind, while the tents and two mar quees appropriated to the use of the staff formed a line from flexile to flank in rear of the whole. At the review on Thursday about 400 Volunteers were as• sembled, and the troops were under the general com mand of Colonel Anstruther. A variety of move ments of the usual character having been executed, Colonel Atigurdo said h 3 had come down expecting much, and bad not been disappointed. He hoped before the battalion left the camp every man would know how to pitch and etrike his tent. He was pleased to see that the arms of the Suffolk Volunteers were in good order; he was satisfied also with their ap pearance physically as men fit to b ear a rm s, and he hoped that when he n ext rev i ewed them he s h ou ld see the effect of the capitation grant upon their uni forms. Their pouches should be larger, nd should carry at least 60 rounds of ball cartridge, for the day might come in which they would look about them to see where they could get more ammu nition. Great precision of movement was all fudge in battle, although it w as all right on the parade-ground of r egular-troops, To his mind the Volunteer should be a sober-minded, God-fearing man, earnest, and determined to help hie country at the pinch, to learn as much of mili tary drill as was necessary for absolute warfare, to be obedient to his officers, and . to trust to those officers pl ac i ng hi m i u a position where his qualities as a b rave steady man might make hrna useful in the d a y o f b attle. P re cision of movement might be thrown to the winds, although the main points should b e accurately ta k en up, and all move ments should b e so we ll k nown that they could be executed "at the double." New that Volunteers took a large su m year l y f rom t h e public purse they had imposed upon themselves a grave responsibility, and he hoped that they would work up to what was expected of them, not only by the country and the Government, but also by their sweethearts and wives.

It would only remain for gentlemen, as is the case at the best French watering places, where the use of full cos tume by both the gentlemen and the ladies is compulsory, to adopt a similar dress for us to have real society in the sea ; and when this takes place ladies will coon be swimmers. At Biarritz a gentleman asks a lady to swim with him in the morning just as readily as he would invite her to waltz at night. Why not in England ?

The funeral of Marshal Pelissier, Duke of Mala koff, took place on Thursday in the Church of the Iravalides. Military honours were paid to his re mains by the veterans of the Hospital in the inte rior of the hotel, and one on the outside bye brigade of infantry of the Imperial Guard, two squadrons of cavalry, a battalion of the Garda de Paris, half a mounted squadron of the same Guard, a division of nine battalions of the Ist Corps„d'Arrre, , , and two squadrons and two batteries of artillery. Th ese troops were commanded by Marshal Magnan, and were formed in close column on the esplanade facing the grand entrance. Two salutes of 13 guns were fired by a half battery placed' on the quay of the Invalides—one salute at the commencement of the funeral ceremony, and the other at the conclusion when the troops defiled. The Church of the lava lides was entirely hung with black cloth, orna mented with the Marshal's arms. A rich catafalque was raised in the middle of the nave ; twelve non commissioned officers, four of the Guard and eight of the Line, stood round the coffin. After the reli gious service the coffin was placed in a hearse drawn by six horses, which, according to custom, walked across the large courtyard to the outer gate of the Hotel des Invalides. The corners of the pall were held by Marshal Vaillaut, General Marquis d'llaut poul, Count Walewski, and M. Mercier Lacombe, Director of the Interior in Algeria. When the cortege arrived at the external gate all the troops defiled before the ccffil. The funeral cortege then returned to the church, and the coffin wee lifted from the hearse and carried by twelve non-commis sioned officers to the vault prepared for it. All the Ministers, all the Marshals, Admirals, and General officers present in Paris, all the Emperor's military household, the Alger:an deputation, and deputations from the great bodies of the State assisted at the ceremony.

Finding Le's positio❑ on the South Anna very strong, General Grant made another flanking movement on Toutsday night. He withdrew across North Anna, marched to Hanover Town, and crossed the Panannkey, at that point occupying on Sunday a front three miles South of the Panaunkey. Lee withdrew from the South Anna on the night of Grant's movement, and took up a position north of the Claickahominy, on the Mechanicsville road, south of Totopatamoy Creek, his right resting on Shady Grove.

Palmer Bro thers' iron shipbuilding yard at Jarrow on the 18th inst. She is 3,200 tons burden, 3601 t. long in the keel, 3851 t. over all, and 281 t. depth of hold. Two other large iron steamships, of exactly the same model as the Erin, are also building at Messrs. Pal mars', and three others will shortly be laid down of larger size, ell for the National Steam Navigation Company. Iron shipbuilding generally on the Tyne is brisk. In addition to the abovementiened vessels and others, Messrs. Palmer are building nine large vessels under Lloyd's survey, and the other large iron shipbuilding yards on the Tyne are propor tionally well employed, The importation of Spanish grass, which is now extensively used in paper making, is assuming large proportions on the Tyne. Large warehouses are being erected in the Tyne deck for its Stowage, and many thousands of tons of it are stacked on the wharves of these docks. It is brought into the Tyne by the vessels engaged in the Spanish coke trade, which bring it for return cargoes at a few shillings per ton, and the rail ways deliver it to the paper manufacturers in most parts of the country. The northern coal trade is at present in a very healthy condition, and most ot the collieries are well employed. There is also an ex cellent demand for coke. The enormous dredging operations—there being nothing like them, it is supposed, in the country—which are being carried out by the River Tyne Improvement Commissioners, are having a wonderful effect upon the trade of this river, as vessels can now sail at all times of the tide, and large ships can now put to sea with cargoes of coals never dreamt of a dozen years ago. During the past few days one of the Black Ball liners, the Castlemain, belonging to Liverpool, sailed from the 'Fyne laden with 82i keels of steam coal, and a new iron ship, the Lancashire, left the port laden with 77 keels of coal; a number of large ships of equal tonnage are loading steam coals in the Northum berland Dock. It is anticipated that on the 24th of June, or thereabouts, the foundation stone of a large dock, specially intended for the accommoda tion of vessels of great tonnage, will be laid by the River Tyne Commissioners at the Lowlights, at the low, or seaward end of Shields harbour. Messrs. Stephens' steamship, trading with and between the Tyne and London, and the fleet of steamships trading between the Tyne and Hamburg and Rot terdam, owned by Messrs. John Ormeston and Co., are being absorbed into a limited liability com pany. THUNDERSTORMS.—The Vales of the Rye and Derwent, Yorkshire, were visited with heavy thunder storms on Friday afternoon.
